December Boys: 6/10
Summary (by imdb.com): In the late 1960's, four close-knit orphans in Australia, called the December Boys because they were all born in the same month, leave their orphanage for a holiday by the sea. Having all but given up hope of ever being adopted, the friends are on a seaside holiday one summer when they hear a rumor that a seaside couple are looking to adopt one of the orphans, friendships are tested and new alliances made as the four boys compete for the chance to gain a real family.
Comment: If you are a fan of Daniel Radcliffe then you may like his performance in this film. I was disappointed in his acting because he appeared to act like a whiny emo kid trying to figure out how to survive in the world, similar to his acting in Harry Potter 1-4, but his skills improved in the fifth Harry Potter film. The story was a bit slow and the ending was rather depressing, but Daniel Radcliffe does get it on with one of the characters during his holiday near the sea, so I guess something good came out of the film.
